Last night, I realized that some employees at Business Wire might be taking my posts the wrong way.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak for myself. Actually, I do speak for myself. I do it all the time. Type for myslef too.
Heh heh.
Anyhoo, as it were, so to speak, let me take you back to a long time ago in my life.
Goo goo.
Wait, not that far back.
A long time ago, I worked at a place with a bunch of other people. I did a good job and I liked my job and I liked the people that I worked with.
There was, up the corporate food chain, a Deluxe Dildohead. How he got where he was, I haven't a clue. The fact remained that he was there, he was in a position of authority, and he was a Deluxe Dildohead. In fact, that's what I called him.
Not to his face, of course, since he had no face.
Heh heh.
One afternoon, I was doing my job, and I was talking to someone on the phone. That Someone told me that I was a Deluxe Dildohead because I worked at the same place as the Actual Deluxe Dildohead. I didn't like it. I didn't think it was fair for me to be branded "DD" just because I worked at this place where I worked.
As a matter of fact, it made me think that this Someone that told me I was a DD was, himself, a DD, for calling me one. (I think this is psychological stuff.)
So I want to clarify a few things for the good employees of [reference deleted], which is actually Business Wire, which is where you work and do a good job.
I'm not interested in making you think I don't like you, or that you are bad, or anything else like that. I know you are good people, I know you are trying to just do your job, and I know you are pretty much like me and everyone else. I've put some posts up here on Silicon Investor that may easily give the impression that I think your whole company is bad, and that you are bad, and that just is not true, and I apologize to you for that.
Somebody over there where you work has attacked some friends of mine. I think it's a large can of Shinola. [copyright 1999, Shinola Company, all rights reserved] Although I don't agree with everything these three friends of mine say or do, and I can guarantee you that they don't agree with each other all the time either, I do have a lot of respect for what they do. If you invest in the stock market, you would probably like what they do too. They bust scams. They do it for fun. They do other stuff too, like brush their teeth and so on, but one of the things they do is bust scams.
So I'm sure you can see that if somebody is attacking my friends, and I agree with what my friends do, then I don't like the fact that they are being attacked.
You have about 300 employees I think. I think about 298 or 299 are cool. I think one or two are attacking my friends. My problem is that I don't know who exactly it is, so I kinda jumped off on all of you collectively. I even put a little gag on my profile page, which you can't see unless you are a member of Silicon Investor, that says, "Business Wire Executives Click Here".
I did that because if I were an executive at your company, I would have an opinion about what is going on here, and I would make it known to my superior. If I were a real hotshot executive, I'd also let you know that this lawsuit had nothing to do with you or your job, and you were doing a good job, and to continue doing your job.
But my mistake was not being very specific about who I'm targeting. I'm pissed off at the person or persons at your company that is orchestrating this lawsuit, and the attorneys that are actually doing it. I'm pissed because I think it's Way Bogus, and it violates the law, and they are attacking good people that do good things and didn't do what they are accused of. I also think I know why they are doing it.
But that's just my opinion, and I'm not the one getting sued.
And more importantly, it has nothing to do with you.
I'm not pissed at you personally if you didn't have anything to do with it, and once again, I apologize for giving you the impression that I am. We're probably on the same team, so I'm sorry.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
